HT201317 Transfer photos automatically from i-phone to i-photo on the mac.
Hi everybody, I am trying to transfer photos of my iphone automatically to i-photo on the mac.But it doesnt work. I activated iphone on i-cloud. What am I missing ? thank you
On you Mac setup iCloud in the System/iCloud preferences to include Photo Stream:
And in iPhoto's iCloud preference pane set the settings to be as shown in this screenshot:
On your iPhone the settings should be Photo Stream On:
Now every photo taken by your iPhone will be automatically uploaded to your iPhoto library on the Mac when the iPhone is connected to WiFi.

Is it possible to transfer a voice memo to my computer and then convert that to text that can be printed?
Here is my problem. I study harbor seals and have always taken hand written notes that then must be typed into the computer when I get home from an observation. Is there any way I can dictate what I see to a voice memo and then have that translated to text. If there is which would do it best an iphone or ipad (I have neither, just a tracphone for an emergency).
Perhaps this is asking too much from the technology available but it would be a great help if I could do this.
Thanks for any help you can give! -
my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?
You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.
Cheers,

I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.
Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet. -

What is the best/safest way to transfer contacts/data from old phones (5) to new (6 and 6 ). I did "back up to this computer" for both phones. After activation (verizon) do I just plug into iTunes? One of the old phones is still using iOS 7, will that be a problem? (the other has iOS 8.1).

How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same id account
How do i transfer the same video from my phone to my ipad with the same Apple ID .
Your question doesn't make a lot of sense without a little more information. You can't transfer a video from the phone to the iPad by connecting the devices. There are WiFi transfer apps that will let you send a video from one device to another one. I get the feeling that isn't what you are really asking though because that has absolutely nothing to do with your Apple ID.
If you want to download the same purchased movie to the iPad that you downloaded to the phone, go to the purchased tab of the iTunes Store on the iPad. Tap the Movies Button. Tap Not on this iPad. Find the movie and tP the cloud icon next to the movie icon and start downloading.
You must be signed into the same ID on the iPad that you bought the movie with on the iPhone. -

i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -
Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue? I tried to sync them over using iTunes last night but it says that they cannot be played on the device. But they have previously
1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad -
I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

Yes you can use a USB drive to transfer photos to the iPad, this is how...
To transfer photos from a USB thumb drive to the iPad you need to:
1. Plug the USB device into a Mac.
2. Open the Disk Utility app.
3. Pick the USB device in the left hand window.
4. Click on the Erase tab
5. Pick MS-DOS (FAT) and hit Erase.
6. After the formatting is done. Click on the USB device to open it up.
7. Make a new folder a name it DCIM (that an eye i)
8. Drag your photos to that folder.
9. Connect the USB kit to the iPad and plug the USB device into it...done.
Now you can on the fly transfer photos to the iPad using a USB thumb drive. No syncing to iTunes. For Windows computers use FAT-16
I've written up on how to play Flip videos on the iPad without converting the video. Yes it can be done. I will post this later today. (I'm getting old and tend to leave out nouns, adjectives and verbs when writing. I hope you understand the above.)I made a mistake. The one USB drive that did not work was a 4GB not 2 GB. It is formated in FAT 32. The FAT 32 format is not the issue since II have successfully connected both FAT 16 and FAT 32 formated USB drives. I think it is just too big (too many chips inside) and draws too much power.
Doing a Google search it appears that the maximum drive size with FAT 16 is 2GB (one place hinted it was 4 GB). Since many SD cards are bigger that 4 GB today they can't be FAT 16 and thus FAT 32 has to be acceptable with the CCK and the iPad..

I did this with a two year old 4 gig USB thumb drive. Did you format the drive on a Mac using the DOS format? If your on windows you need to use fat-16. If you use fat 32 or the wrong Mac format you will get an error that this device draws to much power.
I know somebody else that made this work. If you can't get it to work then it's the drive or you didn't format the drive right. You know this is a work around and work around don't always work. I posted this for the people who come into these forums looking for a fix.
